and thereby save some OF the freight and
the result viii probably be that our man
ufscturers will lose the SALE
Does il affect other industries here"
~ should think IL did. There is the
Grand Rapids Stave Co.. for instance, who
snip large quantities of -four barrels 10
Minneapolis, who will entirely lose that
trade. Take our Touring mills here; it is a
sad blow 10 them. Formerly the Noigt
Milling Co. shipped -four to Cheboygan. on
its way to the Upper Peninsula. for q cents
per 100 pounds, via the Michigan Central
raiIroad: today the rate is Ga cents. Again.
over 10000 barrels of -four have been sold
| 20 the southern trade. to sach points as
Birmingham and Montgomery. Ala. and
be abandoned. Our millers all
have large stocks on hand. and
are losing money every day.
But. as Mr.. Voigt told ne the other day.
we live in hopes / have somewhere seen
that Hope deferred maketh the heart sick,
and believe that is the condition of our
business men after about ten days expert
ence with the Interstate Commerce bill"
How will it affect the shippers OF lum-
ber?'
'I have heard nothing but complaints
told me il would increase his expenses
5000 year."
Wont it help the farmers"
my dear boy, whatever damages. such a
thriving city as this can never help those
who live in its vicinity. / have
been speaking about its effect upon this
part OF the State. Certainly, whatever
works en- injury to thil city will damage
this part OF Michigan. Speaking OF the rest
Of the country from all sides comes mp a
pathetic request TO the commission 10 sus-
pend the long and short haul clause. j
noticed in the papers this morning stir
ring appeal 10 the commission 20 that effect
from business men from San Francisco. A
gentleman from Minnesota told me few
DAYS ago that under the tili not busbel of
wheat could be moved from that State
to New York tor expectation. un-
less the commission would relieve
them from the operation of section four.
EVERYBODY wants relief from IL, and il they
commence It's suspension, where will IL
end2"
1t is claimed that q law similar 10 this
has been successfully enforced In England
tor many years"
81 have been informed so. bat I do not
know whether the Eoflish Law - exactly
like this or not. The change Of few
words might make great difference.
However that msy De, even If similar law
IS IN force in England. that would be no
reason for its adoption here. The whole Of
Great Britain is not as lsrge a. some
OF our States. Their internal commerce
is triaing and psltry thing compared
with ours Toe large proportion IF The
products Of England are transported By
water and sold IN foreign lands. while Of
our productions about - per cent are con-
